    Technology Provider Ranks 12th on Pittsburgh Business Times List

    PITTSBURGH – October 25, 2005 - Ad-Base Systems, Inc. has been selected as one of the 50 Best Places to Work in Western Pennsylvania, according to rankings published in the Pittsburgh Business Times on October 14, 2005. The technology company was ranked as the 12th best place to work among all companies, and was rated eighth among 18 smaller companies.

    More than 125 companies from Western Pennsylvania applied to participate in online surveys of employee satisfaction. The results of those surveys were used to rank the winning companies. Companies were honored at an awards luncheon on October 13, 2005.

    Ad-Base Systems, Castle Shannon/Mt. Lebanon, has 37 employees across two subsidiary companies: GlobalPOPs, a national leader in wholesale Internet services; and PghConnect, a regional Internet Service Provider.

    "We appreciate our employees and it is clear from this ranking that they appreciate us,” said Jeff Tapolci, president of Ad-Base Systems. “We rely on our employees to maintain our reputation for dependability, so we make every effort to be fair, recognize their needs and reward them for their achievements.

    “We encourage our employees to become part of the company,” said Tapolci. “We listen to their ideas and let them run with those ideas. They feel appreciated and a part of the team, sharing ideas that contribute directly to our success. All this leads to making the company a better place to work.”

    Ad-Base was founded in 1992 by Pittsburgh-native Jerry Tapolci with his wife, Judy. In 1997 Ad-Base became an Internet Service Provider (ISP) offering broadband Internet access via ISDN and T1 lines to business customers. In 2000 Ad-Base became one of the first Pittsburgh based SDSL providers. In 2001 Ad-Base formed PghConnect as its formal Internet Service Company and started providing local and national dial-up Internet access services. Ad-Base formed GlobalPOPs as its carrier-class provider of wholesale dialup and managed modem solutions.

    In August 2005, Ad-Base was named by the Pittsburgh Business Times as the second fastest growing company in Pittsburgh, Pa., making the Annual Pittsburgh 100, a list of fast growing firms, for the second year in a row.
